Esprit 2008
It's time again...
...to be dreaming, thinking, and planning for the best week in the coming year -- a week of fun, freedom, and friendships! Yes, it's time to get serious about Esprit!
Esprit focuses on changing lives for the better and creating pride and self-respect for anyone who is transgendered. Educational, inspirational, and experimental, Esprit is steeped in prospects for personal growth and friendship. But most of all, Esprit is about fun in a magnificant setting among a friendly and accepting local population. It's an opportunity for you to spread your wings for an entire week and have a ball!
If you thought last year was good, wait until you see this year's Esprit! Volunteers are organizing a packed exciting agenda you won't want to miss.
Is Esprit for you? If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions, then Esprit is for you! If you're still not sure, consider the following: And this is just the beginning. Esprit's true magic comes from the simple presence of so many like-minded people. When you combine the people and the official offerings, what happens and what you take away from Esprit may surprise you. Some treat Esprit like a casual vacation and pick just a few of the planned activities, and others try to do absolutely everything. Some come just once while others come year after year. What you do is up to you, and from what we've seen over the years, Esprit has put together a winning formula that manages to satisfy virtually everyone...and leave a lasting impression on all who come. Esprit is an exciting, liberating experience, certain to boost your spirits and leave you with a warm glow long after the convention ends. If you've attended before, you know this is true. If you've never attended, talk to someone who has. We're confident you'll like what you hear. If you're still not sure, take a look at what the week has in store...
